Ethics and Palliative Care

Decisions made at or near the end of life are often difficult and have ethical implications. This book addresses the theoretical background as well as the more practical, clinical considerations as they relate to ethics through a case-based critical approach - perfect for daily clinical reference. Ethics and Palliative Care is an invaluable resource to practising clinicians, medical students studying law and ethics, and students in applied ethics and philosophy. It is perfect for those wanting to qualify as Macmillan Clinical Nurse Specialists and all postgraduates in palliative care.
